ALSTOM SA: Alstom to supply Italy’s first hydrogen trains
Alstom to supply Italy’s first hydrogen
trains
The board of FNM, Lombardy’s leading public transport group,
approves major investment in green railway transportation
26 November 2020 – Alstom
will supply six hydrogen fuel cell trains, with the option for
eight more, to FNM (Ferrovie Nord Milano), the main transport and
mobility group in the Italian region of Lombardy, for a total
amount of approximately €160 million. The first train delivery is
expected within 36 months of the date of the order.
The new hydrogen trains will be based on
Alstom’s Coradia Stream regional train platform, which is dedicated
to the European market and already being produced for Italy by
Alstom’s main Italian sites. The hydrogen powered Coradia Stream
for FNM, will be equipped with the same fuel cell propulsion
technology that was introduced to the world by the Coradia iLint.
The hydrogen Coradia Stream will maintain the high standards of
comfort already appreciated by passengers of its electric version.
The hydrogen version will match the operational performance of
diesel trains, including their range.
“We are immensely proud to be introducing
hydrogen train technology to Italy, and we recognise the trust
placed in us by our Italian customer. This development confirms
Alstom’s role in defining the future of mobility. These trains,
together with the Coradia iLint that have already proven themselves
in commercial service in Germany, represent another major step in
the transition towards global sustainable transport systems. I take
this opportunity to congratulate FNM for demonstrating that they
are a leader in this area,” says Gian Luca Erbacci, Senior Vice
President of Alstom Europe.
The Coradia iLint is the world’s first passenger
train powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which produces electrical
power for traction. This zero-emission train emits low levels of
noise, with exhaust being only steam and condensed water. The iLint
is special for its combination of different innovative elements:
clean energy conversion, flexible energy storage in batteries, and
smart management of traction power and available energy.
Specifically designed for operation on non-electrified lines, it
enables clean, sustainable train operation while ensuring high
levels of performance.
The Coradia Stream trains for FNM are
manufactured by Alstom in Italy. Project development, most of the
manufacturing and certification are performed at Alstom’s site in
Savigliano. The on-board signalling systems are delivered by the
Bologna site.
